Optional Speedlights

When used with a compatible Speedlight such as the SB-800 or SB-600 (available separately), the D70S supports many of the options available with the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS; 203), including i-TTL flash con- trol ( 94), Flash Color Information Communication, and FV lock ( 103). The D70S does not support Auto FP High-Speed Sync. For more information, see the Speedlight manual.

Use Only Nikon Flash Accessories

Use only Nikon Speedlights. Negative voltages or voltages over 250 V applied to the accessory shoe could not only prevent normal operation, but damage the sync circuitry of the camera or flash. Before using a Nikon Speedlight not listed in this section, con- tact a Nikon-authorized service representative for more information.
